But Douglas, 23 — who resides at Main Street Apartments on the 1100 block of Welsh Road — still faces trial in county court on a felony drug-dealing charge and related offenses in connection with his June arrest.

At District Judge Harold Borek’s Lansdale court on Tuesday afternoon, five of the eight charges originally levied against Douglas were withdrawn, including four counts of misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia and one count of felony criminal use of a cellphone.

Douglas agreed to waive one count of felony possession with intent to deliver, one count of misdemeanor possession of a small amount of marijuana for personal use and one count of misdemeanor receipt in commerce.

Towamencin police said that after receiving word of possible drug activity at the apartment complex, officers set up a surveillance detail in the area at the end of June.

According to a criminal complaint filed in district court, officers observed Douglas arrive home and park his car, then saw another car with two men inside drive up and park next to Douglas’ car — Douglas and one of the men went into Douglas’s apartment building, and the man emerged four minutes later and got back into the car, which then drove off.

About 15 minutes later, police said, a Honda Element with a male driver and female passenger pulled into a parking spot next to Douglas’ car — two minutes later, Douglas exited the building and walked up to the driver’s side door and allegedly handed the driver a clear plastic bag in exchange for cash before walking back to his apartment.

At that point, according to the complaint, a Towamencin police car pulled up behind the Honda and an officer engaged the driver — who police have identified as Aaron Melanson, 23, of North Wales — while another officer confronted Douglas as he approached the building.

Melanson first denied, then admitted, purchasing marijuana from Douglas, said police, who detained both men and conducted a pat-down search of Douglas, who allegedly revealed that he had a bag of marijuana hidden in his boxer shorts.

Police said Douglas then admitted he’d sold marijuana both to Melanson and to the man officers saw enter his apartment earlier, and when asked if he had any more pot in his apartment, he said he had a bag with an ounce of marijuana in it, along with several more small bags also containing marijuana, on his dining room table.

According to the complaint, Douglas consented to a search of his apartment, which allegedly turned up a large heat-sealed bag containing 32 grams of marijuana, 16 smaller bags of marijuana weighing a total of 30 grams, a digital scale, $360 in cash, a glass pipe and a metal grinder.

Police said Douglas also consented to a search of his cellphone, which contained text messages from Melanson and the other man indicating that they wanted to buy weed from him, the complaint states.

Douglas remains free on $5,000 unsecured bail. His formal arraignment in county court is scheduled for Dec. 4.

Melanson, meanwhile, waived one count of misdemeanor possession of a small amount of marijuana for personal use in district court on Oct. 8 and is scheduled to be formally arraigned on the charge in county court on Nov. 20, records show.
